Scripture | Theology | Church | Art | Culture

Tomorrow night at Samford (6-7p, Reid Chapel) I am addressing again some hefty subjects: 1) pornography’s distortion of the theological vision of sex and sexuality presented in Scripture and 2) the connections between pornography and social justice.

If you are reading this, I obligate you to lift up a prayer.

We tend to view pornography as a private sin. But there is no such thing as a private sin. You can sin in private, but the nature of sin is that it always has public consequences. So I am quite determined to communicate Scripture’s clear teaching that sin places us on a trajectory that can quickly spin out of control and destroy others, not just ourselves.

By the way, I do not think I am being legalistic and sponsoring some moralistic, even fundamentalist, version of sanitized sexual mores.
